IJ56793: CUSTOMER WENT OUT OF MEMORY LOADING AN ESM FILE AT 3.5GB

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer went out of memory loading an ESM file at 3.5GB
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When using the Security Discovery editor with a very large
  External Security Manager (ESM) file with the default heap size
  set to the current default level, and a heap dump is generated,
  an out of memory error occurs.
  

Problem conclusion

• The heap usage has now been reduced to reduce the likelihood of
  an out of memory error occurring. When loading a very large ESM
  file into the Security Discovery editor, customers will need to
   ensure that the maximum heap size is set to at least 6GB or
   larger in order to use the Security Discovery editor. A
   documentation update reflecting the need to check, and
   potentially update, the maximum heap size will follow shortly.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.47 (33.0.17) of
  the CICS Explorer.
